Stream Star Trek: Discovery via CBS All Access
This is an obvious marketing ploy by CBS. It’s giving away the first episode to entice fans to purchase the CBS All Access service. To further tease you to do an impulse buy, the second episode goes live the same night on the streaming service following the OTA broadcast. CBS isn’t going to dump the entire 15 seasons at once either. The first eight episodes will run through November 5th and the second half of the season won’t launch until January of next year. Since they are staggering the rollout, it throws a wrench into plans of just buying one month to binge on the show and then cancel – unless you want to wait.
CBS All Access offers new subscribers a seven-day free trial. After that, plans start at $5.99/month or $59.99/year and includes commercials. If you want your viewing experience to be commercial-free it will cost you $9.99/month or $99.99 for the annual subscription. A CBS All Access subscription gives you more than just the new Star Trek Discover series. You get live CBS programming as well as its entire library of current and classic shows on-demand. Yes, that includes the full Star Trek series, too (TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise and the animated series).
Are you excited about the new Star Trek series? Will you pony up the five bucks a month to watch it on CBS All Access? Leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts. What do they fill the extra minutes with? Surely not more program… OH, blank screen! That wouldn’t be so bad. haha, where is my copy of bit torrent! Instead paying so much for Spectrum, go internet only and watch on demand for much less on a Roku player. Comment
